Introduce or review the life cycle of a snail in a hands-on way with this fun spinner wheel craft activity. Use this low-prep resource as part of a snail/bugs/minibeasts topic, or as part of a garden nature lesson.
The templates
There are 2 options to choose from - one where students color the snail (template 1) and the other with a pre-colored snail (template 2). For both templates, children will color the life cycle stages, arrange them in order on the template, and assemble their spinner.
